Great with a cup of tea!
Do you think it would be ok to just use almonds grounded up in a coffee grinder?
That would work in smalll bathces at a time. Be careful not to turn into almond butter; but then again that would yummy too:)
Waw! These balls look so appetizing! I can’t wait to make them & pop them into my mouth,…!!!;)
I love it
